New functions

Optimized storage utilization

Multi-Temperature Data Management allows for grouping of hot, warm,
and cold data on varying storage systems. You can now use different
storage technologies to help optimize performance while helping to
minimize cost. Storage can be allocated depending on data temperature,
such as placing hot data on the fastest and most expensive Solid® State
Disks (SSDs), while other data can reside on less expensive storage
systems.

Multi-Temperature Data Management integration with DB2 Workload
Manager is available with DB2 Advanced Enterprise Server Edition to more
easily prioritize queries, not only on "who" submitted the work or
"what" type of work it is, but also on "where" the data resides.
For faster performance, queries touching only hot data can be assigned
higher prioritization than queries touching cold data.

You get significant enhancements with DB2's industry-leading compression
technologies that now include the new Adaptive Compression, which
can further help reduce your storage needs. The enhancements deliver
efficient compression of high amounts of new and changing data. The
improved compression ratio further helps reduce storage needs and
allows for more data in memory, therefore, helping to increase performance.
The new approach used in Adaptive Compression also reduces the need
for table reorganization. As a consequence, overall maintenance of
compressed data is reduced, helping you achieve additional cost savings.

Time Travel Query, based on the SQL 2011 standard, is integrated
into the database engine to provide significant performance and manageability
advantages. Time Travel Query provides the infrastructure for time-aware
analytics to reduce the operational complexity of collecting and analyzing
time-based data.

Time Travel Query accelerates dynamic analysis of business trends
and changes over time, for both new and existing applications. Time
Travel Query provides the flexibility to audit for change with system-controlled
temporal data, and to analyze all kinds of temporal data including
forward-looking data when using user-controlled temporal data.

Time Travel Query is available in all editions of DB2.

DB2 10.1
LUW can now be used as the Resource Definition Framework (RDF) data
store with built-in query processor and SPARQL support. With this
support, you will be able to build highly scalable and reliable semantic
data applications on the DB2 platform. Application developers will have
a flexible and expressive API to develop or rapidly prototype applications
where the schema is changing or where there is a wide spectrum of
disparate entity types to be stored with an evolving relationships
between them. SPARQL query features, with open source Jena API, are
supported. Utilities to create, load, and reorganize RDF data are
provided.

SPARQL and RDF datastore are available to all DB2 editions.

Security enhancements

Row and Column Access Control provides easy and flexible control
over data access. With Row and Column Access Control, you can define
the security policies that are optimal for your environment by creating
permissions for rows and masks for columns based on rules defined
for users, groups, and roles. This very fine granularity is designed
to allow you to easily control access by roles such as departmental,
supervisory, database administrators (DBAs), system administrators,
and others, and allow for full separation of duty between security
officers and DBAs.

Row and Column Access Control is available in all the for-purchase DB2 10.1
editions (Express,
Workgroup Server, Enterprise Server, and Advanced Enterprise Server,
Database Enterprise Developer).

Performance enhancements

DB2 10.1
LUW adds many enhancements designed to further increase the performance
of queries.

Zigzag join is now available and is capable of delivering sub-second
response time on complex multi-dimensional queries. Other join methods
are also enhanced for memory usage efficiency, early predicate evaluation,
support of expressions in predicates, as well as optimizer costing
and query plan optimization. Additionally, you may now set the INTRA_PARALLELISM
variable dynamically to optimize performance on multicore systems
for specific applications or workloads.

These performance enhancements are available in all editions of DB2.

Continous Data Ingest utility

The ingest utility allows the seamless roll-in of external data
feeds with minimal impact on operations, including long-running queries.
It enables real-time business analytics with massive volumes of streaming
external data. It is designed to avoid trade-off between data concurrency
and data availability.

The DB2 pureScale Feature
brings clustering technology to DB2 on distributed IBM Power® System
and System
x® platforms. It helps you to meet your business needs around
availability and scalability, and at the same time, it is easy to
configure and administer. By combining the extensive features of DB2 with
the availability and scalability of the DB2 pureScale Feature along with IBM system
dependability and flexibility, the result is a comprehensive data
management solution that helps you meet the most demanding business
needs.

The DB2 pureScale Feature
is designed to keep your critical data available during both planned
and unplanned outages. For planned outages, where you are performing
maintenance on your cluster, you can do rolling maintenance on individual
members without affecting the availability of the cluster. For unplanned
outages, where a member of the cluster fails due to hardware or software
reasons, the DB2 pureScale Feature
is designed to allow the cluster, with its remaining members, to continue
to function with minimal interruption to your application or business.

The DB2 pureScale Feature
allows you to add members to the cluster and remove them from the
cluster on demand. You can scale up or scale down the cluster to meet
your dynamic business needs. DB2 pureScale, developed with ease of use in
mind, has a single installation process for all the software components.

The DB2 pureScale Feature
is included in DB2 Workgroup
Server Edition and is restricted to up to 16 cores and 64 GB memory
total across the cluster, not including the DB2 Cluster Facility and quorum
host. DB2 pureScale Feature
is included in DB2 Database
Enterprise Developer Edition for development use. DB2 pureScale,
with no core or memory restrictions, is available for purchase with DB2 Advanced
Enterprise Server Edition and DB2 Enterprise Server Edition.

This feature includes data row, index, temporary table, and adaptive
compression and other compression types to help maximize the use of
existing storage:

Data Row Compression uses a static dictionary-based compression
algorithm to compress data by row. Compressing data at the row level
is advantageous because it allows repeating patterns that span multiple
column values within a row to be replaced with shorter symbol strings,
helping to improved performance. In I/O-bound systems it will not
only help reduce storage requirements but it might help improve overall
performance.

Index Compression utilizes multiple algorithms to help reduce
the storage requirements for indexes as well as the total storage
footprint of your DB2 database.

Temp Compression will automatically compress the amount of space
used for temp tables. This automated compression will help to both
improve performance of business intelligence workloads using large
temp tables as well as reduce the total storage needed by DB2.

Adaptive Compression lets you use the above mentioned compression
methods in parallel with table and page level dictionaries.

Program charges: This feature is included in the DB2 Advanced
Enterprise Server Edition and IBM Database Enterprise Developer Edition.

This feature is available as an option for DB2 Enterprise
Server Edition, and can only be acquired if the underlying data server

Authorized User Single Install is a unit of measure by which the
program can be licensed. An Authorized User is a unique person who
is given access to the program. An Install is an installed copy of
the program on a physical or virtual disk made available to be executed
on a computer. The program may be installed on any number of computers
or servers, but if the Authorized User has accessed or has access
to more than one Install of the program, the Authorized User requires
a separate entitlement for each such Install. Licensee must obtain
separate, dedicated entitlements for each Authorized User given access
to the program on each Install in any manner directly or indirectly
(for example: via a multiplexing program, device, or application server)
through any means. An entitlement for an Authorized User is unique
to that Authorized User and may not be shared, nor may it be reassigned
other than for the permanent transfer of the Authorized User entitlement
to another person.

PVU is a unit of measure by which the program can be licensed.
The number of PVU entitlements required is based on the processor
technology (defined within the PVU Table by processor value, brand,
type, and model number at

and the number of processors made available to the program. IBM continues
to define a processor, for the purpose of PVU-based licensing, to
be each processor core on a chip. A dual-core processor chip, for
example, has two processor cores.

Licensee can deploy the program using either full capacity licensing
or virtualization capacity (sub-capacity) licensing according to the Passport
Advantage Sub-Capacity Licensing Terms (refer to the webpage
below). If using full capacity licensing, licensee must obtain PVU
entitlements sufficient to cover all activated processor cores* in
the physical hardware environment made available to or managed by
the program, except for those servers from which the program has been
permanently removed. If using virtualization capacity licensing, licensee
must obtain entitlements sufficient to cover all activated processor
cores made available to or managed by the program, as defined according
to the Virtualization Capacity License Counting Rules at

* An activated processor core is a processor core that is available
for use in a physical or virtual server, regardless of whether the
capacity of the processor core can be or is limited through virtualization
technologies, operating system commands, BIOS settings, or similar
restrictions.

Statement of good security practices

IT system security involves protecting systems and information
through prevention, detection, and response to improper access from
within and outside your enterprise. Improper access can result in
information being altered destroyed or misappropriated or can result
in misuse of your systems to attack others. Without a comprehensive
approach to security, no IT system or product should be considered
completely secure and no single product or security measure can be
completely effective in preventing improper access. IBM systems
and products are designed to be part of a comprehensive security approach,
which will necessarily involve additional operational procedures,
and may require other systems, products, or services to be most effective. IBM does
not warrant that systems and products are immune from the malicious
or illegal conduct of any party.

for temporary capacity on the corresponding hardware, and the required
contract - Z125-6907, Amendment for iSeries® and pSeries® Temporary

IBM has
transformed its delivery of hardware and software support services
to help you achieve higher system availability. Electronic Services
is a web-enabled solution that offers an exclusive, no-additional-charge
enhancement to the service and support available for IBM servers.
These services are designed to provide the opportunity for greater
system availability with faster problem resolution and preemptive
monitoring. Electronic Services comprises two separate, but complementary,
elements: Electronic Services news page and Electronic Services Agent.

The Electronic Services news page is a single Internet entry point
that replaces the multiple entry points traditionally used to access IBM Internet
services and support. The news page enables you to gain easier access
to IBM resources
for assistance in resolving technical problems.

The Electronic Service Agent is
no-additional-charge software that resides on your server. It monitors
events and transmits system inventory information to IBM on
a periodic, client-defined timetable. The Electronic Service
Agent automatically reports hardware problems to IBM. Early
knowledge about potential problems enables IBM to deliver proactive service
that may result in higher system availability and performance. In
addition, information collected through the Service Agent is made
available to IBM service
support representatives when they help answer your questions or diagnose
problems. Installation and use of IBM Electronic Service
Agent for problem reporting enables IBM to provide better support and
service for your IBM server.

Partner, or authorized IBM Business Partner for Software ValueNet®,
